Hi all!

[bufordbryan]

I'm here because about a week ago 3 roosters and 2 hens decided they wanted to take up residence in my front yard flower bed(we live in city limits.) We couldn't find their owners so we decided to move them to our farm outside of town. I know very little about chickens including what to feed them, where they sleep, etc. I started searching the internet and came upon this website, so here I am!!

Sounds like too many roosters, too few hens.. So many people have birds coming into their yards and staying there. They only thing I get is stray cats using my flower beds for their toilet.
